Posted June 28, 2010 11:00 pm

TNT has reached a multi-year agreement with five-time NBA champion and former Bulls guard Steve Kerr to return to the network as a game analyst, starting with the 2010-11 NBA season.

Kerr will join TNT's NBA Thursday night doubleheader coverage and will be a part of the network's NBA All-Star weekend and NBA Playoffs coverage. In addition, he will be a contributor for NBATV and NBA.com, providing analysis and commentary for The Finals, All Star Weekend and the NBA Draft.

Kerr most recently served as president of basketball operations and general manager of the Phoenix Suns.

"We are thrilled that Steve is returning to TNT to join our marquee roster of announcers," said Jeff Behnke, executive producer of Turner Sports.

Kerr spent four seasons with TNT as a game analyst from 2003-2007, when he called a full slate of regular season and playoff games. He also worked on three NBA All-Star Games and three consecutive Conference Finals.

A 15-year NBA veteran, Kerr's notable career includes five NBA Championships with the Chicago Bulls (1995-96, 1996-97, 1997-98) and San Antonio Spurs (1998-99 and 2002-03). He is the all-time best three-point shooter at .454 (726/1,599), as well as the single season leader in three-point accuracy, hitting .524 (89-170) of his attempts during the 1994-95 season.
